摘要:
The various embodiments described below are directed to providing authenticated and confidential messaging from software executing on a host (e.g. a secure software application or security kernel) to and from I/O devices operating on a USB bus. The embodiments can protect against attacks that are levied by software executing on a host computer. In some embodiments, a secure functional component or module is provided and can use encryption techniques to provide protection against observation and manipulation of USB data. In other embodiments, USB data can be protected through techniques that do not utilized (or are not required to utilize) encryption techniques. In accordance with these embodiments, USB devices can be designated as “secure” and, hence, data sent over the USB to and from such designated devices can be provided into protected memory. Memory indirection techniques can be utilized to ensure that data to and from secure devices is protected.

In accordance with certain aspects, data is received from a calling program. Ciphertext that includes the data is generated, using a symmetric cipher, in a manner that allows only one or more target programs to be able to obtain the data from the ciphertext. In accordance with other aspects, a bit string is received from a calling program. An identifier of the calling program is checked to determine whether the calling program is allowed to access data encrypted in ciphertext of the bit string. The integrity of the data is also verified, and the data is decrypted using a symmetric key. The data is returned to the calling program only if the calling program is allowed to access the data and if the integrity of the data is successfully verified.

Digital content is released to a rendering application for forwarding by such rendering application to an ultimate destination by way of a path therebetween. The path is defined by at least one module, and the digital content is initially in an encrypted form. An authentication of at least a portion of the path is performed to determine whether each defining module thereof is to be trusted to appropriately handle the digital content passing therethrough. The encrypted digital content is decrypted if in fact each such defining module is to be trusted, and the decrypted digital content is forwarded to the rendering application for further forwarding to the ultimate destination by way of the authenticated path.

Manifest-based trusted agent management in a trusted operating system environment includes receiving a request to execute a process is received and setting up a virtual memory space for the process. Additionally, a manifest corresponding to the process is accessed, and which of a plurality of binaries can be executed in the virtual memory space is limited based on indicators, of the binaries, that are included in the manifest.

Encrypted compressed content is produced by encrypting content based at least in part on a content key, and compressing the content based at least in part on the content key. Thus, the content key is employed to encrypt the content and also to compress the content. Similarly, decrypted decompressed content is produced from the encrypted compressed content by decrypting the content based at least in part on a content key, and decompressing the content based at least in part on the content key. Thus, the content key is employed to decrypt the content and also to decompress the content.

Operating system upgrades in a trusted operating system environment allow a current trusted core of an operating system installed on a computing device to be upgraded to a new trusted core. The new trusted core is allowed to access application data previously securely stored by the current trusted core only if it can be verified that the new trusted core is the new trusted core expected by the current trusted core. In accordance with one implementation, the new trusted core is allowed to access only selected application data previously securely stored by the current trusted core.

A digital rights management (DRM) system operates on a computing device and requires a black box for performing decryption and encryption functions. To obtain the black box from a black box server, the DRM system requests such black box from such black box server. The black box server in response generates the black box, where such black box is unique and has a public/private key pair. The black box server then delivers the generated black box to the DRM system and the DRM system installs the delivered black box in such DRM system.

摘要:
Theft of decompressed digital content as the content is being rendered is prevented. A requested slow-down of the rendering of the content is detected. Transfers of relatively large amounts of data are detected. A re-compressor-based requested slow-down of the rendering of the content is detected. A re-compressor re-compressing the content is detected. In each situation, the detected activity is presumably initiated by a content thief attempting to steal the content. In each situation, the detected activity is responded to in a manner designed to frustrate the presumed attempt of the content thief to steal the content.
